Way back in the 80s when I started Wood Working. We built a lot of country style furniture with soft pine. Most of the cabinets were screwed together, and we would fill the screw holes with square packs. I wasn’t sure this method would work in harder woods, like cherry, walnut, and white oak. So I thought I’d test out this technique on the shaker stepstool. Turns out that it works fine and I think adds a nice design element. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! Jon

I like this trick. I feel like we get obsessed with invisible joinery, dominos and all that jazz but this makes things simple, looks good and great for anyone starting out with woodworking.
Thanks, I agree… you can build simple, Strong and beautiful furniture using this method. And it’s always fun pounding those square pegs into the round holes 😁👍
@@JonPetersArtHome I think if you're not sure if the wood would split then jus add a clamp on the parallel edges before pounding the pegs in .....that would greatly help the wood fibres from splitting I guess!!!😄
@@JonPetersArtHome thanks jon... these square pegs would also look great on small jewellery boxes too☺️👍🏻👍🏻
Great little nugget to have as a detail option. Thanks.
Thanks Larry
I like the looks of the square pegs so much better than round. I never knew this technique for making/installing them so thanks for explaining it! Who would have ever thought you could put a square peg in a round hole! 🤣
Thanks!
That's a great demonstration and experiment, Jon. I thought I saw the white oak pegs peeling back as you were pounding them in and also one of the Sapele pegs. Maybe it was just an illusion.

Really like the look of the plugs…..👍
Thanks 👍
I love this method Jon, thanks!
Great to hear! Thanks
That is really nice. I'm putting a entryway bench and this'll be perfect for hiding screws.
Nice!
I said this in your other video for the step stool, but I'll say it again...that's a great technique~!! Thanks for the explanation/demo. 😀
Thanks!
They really look great, Jon! 😃
Thanks for the demonstration!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Will do! Thanks!
Jon smash!!! (Hulk voice) LOL!!! Very enjoyable video & I very much like the sq. design element it adds. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Lol 😂 thanks Brother!
What an excellent video on this rainy day, Jon!
Thanks Will!
This is cool, thank you! It's amazing what can be done with a hammer. 😁
That’s For sure! 😂👍
Great tips Jon. Glad you walked through this. Going to try it on my own.
Cool thanks!
I had commented about this in the step stool video. Glad you made one to show it off more. Thanks!
I would’ve liked to see an intentional failure to see how much you’d have to hammer it in to split the end.
Makes me want to try this as a decorative feature on small objects, would be a great way to use small scraps of nice woods :) Thanks !
I think if you're not sure if the wood would split jus add a clamp on the parallel edges before pounding the pegs in would greatly help the wood from splitting ......I guess
Thank you Jon great tips to0 enhance any project.
Very nice demonstration video Jon! 👍👍
Thanks Steve!
Appreciate the detailed explanation Jon
Thanks Tom
Interesting. I'm going to try this.
Thank you
Great idea. I like the look.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Jon. I’m gonna try that!
Nice! Definitely it’s really satisfying, pounding that square peg into a round hole… Never get tired of that sound😂👍
Cool idea Jon thanks for sharing...🤘🤘🤘🤘
Definitely 👍 thanks
Thank youl
I use square pegs a lot - but not with this technique, which I’m going to try put. My usual method is to make a square mortise using a Veritas punch. It’s fine but getting a constant depth is difficult.
When is want flush square pegs, I see “your” method as better. However, I usually have pillow topped square pegs protruding about 3/16”. I currently taking a long square dowel (usually in a contrasting wood) and pillow both ends on a disc sander. Then use the bandsaw to cut off to a consistent length; then drive home into the mortise using shims around the hole so that I don’t drive the peg home too deep.
I’m trying to see in my mind how I could combine your method and those Greene and Greene style pegs. I will try it out and see if the hammering of the square peg into a round hole deforms that pillow shape. If anyone has succeeded, I’d be grateful for their tips
Cherry is absolutely the best wood for projects, unless you’re looking for very fancy grain. It’s inexpensive, it’s easy to work, has no strong odor when you’re working with it, it’s fairly strong and hard, and it mellows to a rich reddish brown color. It’s my go-to for general projects.
It is definitely up there, so nice to work with 👍
Hola, pasando a saludar al. Algoritmo y comentar que intentaré hacer el banco y utilizaré esos taquetes cuadrados
Poplar is popular. Who would have thought?
🤦♂️😂👍
$1.75 bf of Poplar and red oak delivered for $575? Was it a delivery service you use? I live on Long Island and would love a delivery service for hardwoods at that price. I can’t find anything less than double that price even in rough sawn.
This place is in PA the delivered to my friend that own a professional cabinet shop and I picked it up from them.
The lumber company is named Lewis Lumber
I wonder if quarter sawn white oak would be more prone to splitting?
Might be. I would definitely test it first
What model bandsaw is that? Did you add a riser block?
Hi Bob, it’s an old 14 inch Delta I bought it back in 1985.
I thought so, thanks. I have one, and I've been thinking about adding a riser block, so I can resaw 8 inch stock. Is this a dumb idea?
